question about writing pages
-
Hello,
I’m working on my first wordpress blog, http://pettersolberg.wordpress.com. I wanted to divide the blog into different sections, so I made a few different pages. If I understand correctly, a ‘post’ is something that appear on the main page, while a ‘page’ is similar to the post but it is posted separately to the main page and automatically appear on the menu. But is there a way of making a ‘page’ appear simiarly to the ‘main page’ in that you can post individual messages/updates. What I want is one page where I can post individual poems/texts and another page where I can post individual images/photos. Ideally all these messages should be accessible from a submenu at each individual page. Is this to complicated for the wordpress.com blog system (I’ve thought about giving the wordpress.org software a try), og do any of you have any tips to how I can make a homepage like this?

A blog has one page that will automatically update with each new post you publish. This is referred to as “the front page” or “the main page” but which page this is may be can be changed here -> Options -> Reading
All other pages you create sit outside the blog structure. They are “static” ie. they do not automatically update and can not be made to do so. That means that any changes made to them must be done manually using the edit function.
Pages cannot have categories assigned to them as posts do. And, pages get no Google juice.

Peter,
Having looked at your blog, I think that you would be better off using categories than pages. For example, you have a Poetry page. What I would do is make each poem a post, and assign it to a Poetry category.
Thank you for providing a link to your blog. It makes it a lot easier to help you! And I hope that this does help. -
